What screen to use for a vertical cab?

<< < (3/5) > >>

I will be using this for shooters as well as pacman etc..I dont care to much about it looking authentic just wondering what are good options..I may go with the crt monitor but 19 inches seems so small..If i was going lcd i was going to use a 22 inch or more but it would most likely be wide screen so I wasn't sure if that makes things look crappy..Is there enough space on a pacman cab for 2 players 2 play a shmup together?

RayB:
Since none of the classics were designed for a widescreen, they will look crappy stretched to fit a wide screen.

Ya i noticed that on my hp monitor that goes vertical..it stretchs the game and there are 2 very thin black bars on the side

Heys guys that guy wants 150 bucks for the pacman cab but I found some selling a cab that was converted to a gauntlet here - http://sacramento.craigslist.org/vgm/1579720622.html
Should I just buy that? Would it be easy to make it into a vertical cab?

Blanka:
The 20 inch HP LCD is true 4:3 with pivot, so no black bars on that one. If you want a similar vertical 3:4 picture on the new widescreen LCD's, you need at least 32 inch for the same image size!
